The greenhouse is full of seedlings, and countless young plants are growing on and hardening off outside. All in all, it has been a very good year for germination.

Some might find this propagation situation a little on the excessive side, however I have a plan. Many will be planted out in my garden, orchard and allotment. Some will head off to friends gardens ( I hope they like tall and brightly coloured annuals ) But best of all there is a small planting bed which is available for my remaining spare plants at http://www.wildegoosenursery.co.uk . ( where I am a member of the nursery team )

Within this 16 m2 , I intend to retain a reasonable amount of the self sown Nigella and create a pale yellow, pale pink, deep purple, orange and white annual and perennial flower bed. I am really looking forward to designing and planting this up over the next few weeks.

And finally, I honestly never thought a vibrant pink garden would, or could actually make me feel this happy. Over the coming months if everything goes to plan, my garden will fill with even more vibrant flowers whilst reaching heady heights.

I very much hope your early summer gardens are providing you with happiness and joy.
